You pay someone to sort it all out for you, accept the invitation from AMEX for one of their black invitation-only cards with every perk you can imagine and no credit limit, and drive yourself to an early death with infinite coke and hookers.





Personally, I’d choose Vanilla Coke Zero.

Is comments like this that disgust me:mad:

It's got to be dandelion and burdock..:D
 
1 million would be enough for me, buy a doer upper house and a decent car and try and invest wisely with the rest. Wouldn't say no to 100 million though!

If anyone on this forum won 100 million, would you announce in GD or just turn up in motors with the new Bugatti?

this happens too often . if you live in the usa, you will probably get shot by scroungers . it really depends on what kind of person you are, and how well you manage your money

I do play - not every time - but for me the lottery is entertainment.

fair enough. nothing wrong about a couple of quid every now and then playing this, but im only saying this because i know some people who spend like £20 - 30 per week on tickets, and they contantly loose, they moan about having no money, I suspect poor self control

whats evern worse i keep seeing those £5 scratch cards, I mean does anyone actually buy them?

One lottery winner had a good way of dealing with people asking for money for their business ideas: he'd ask them to send a business plan to his investment manager

haha, i like that

You might be better to buy a place in London and spend your time in the private members' clubs like the Carlton & the Caledonian with trips here, there, and everywhere to enjoy your wealth. No one is going to take particular notice of a decently dressed man or woman.

with 111 million you could buy the house...size of a shoebox :D
people (relatives) would still find out and hunt you down any way

private island is best, least you can make it your own juristiction and you can shoot people that try to invade. (with all the scroungers you get it will probably be a scene like the Omaha beech scene from saving private ryan)

£1m is not a huge amount these days. There are plenty of places you would struggle to get a decent house for that.
Not that I would say no if you offered, but it isn't a lot of money. A good top limit would be maybe £10m. You can do most things for that.
£100m? Yes, that is a bit too much, but time and time again people have shown that they are more influenced by the top prize than the odds.

The other prizes need to be reviewed. Paid out less than £20 for a customer who got 3 numbers and 2 stars. He thought I made a mistake. Showed him the payout receipt from terminal along with the breakdown prize money list.
 
Isn't there something like a three year waiting list on a Bugatti Chiron? So if you won the £100 million lottery you've still got to join a queue like all the other peasants.

I wouldn't say no to that amount, truly life changing. It got me thinking, where would you actually put that amount of money? I assume there are specialist banks for super rich people.

Yes there are. And I would guess that you don't get a cheque, you get one of those accounts with the money already in it.

Yes, I noticed that. That you really have to win the jackpot to get anything worthwhile. Given the amount of money in the pot, you would think they could share out a little more for the "second prize".

Life changing is an understatement. That is generational changing for many hundreds of years.

Yes, it's a thing that some people don't realise - sums of money like that don't just evaporate. There will be wealth in winning families for many generations. There is still a lot of money in my family after they went bankrupt in 1650! (Not in my branch, I hasten to add. Typically, my branch redefined low when it when bankrupt!!!).
 
We're talking near limitless power here - multiple corner sofas, full gucci gang collection, a 4d number plate that makes no sense, a camera and lens capable of blurring out entire pictures so you don't even know what's pictured, 4090 for 2d snes emulation that's got max sag, high end Swiss watch that is never worn, top end sub 7kg road bike for cycling round the block in the gucci, pretend vegan lifestyle...

Depends what you're after, id only want a small house, with bit of land, something I could work on. Could do that with 1m in certain places, but yeah can be a barrier to other locations.

Even 100k would be life changing for myself. Pay off the rest of the Mortgage and take a year off and travel the world.

Even if you used that 100k to top up your salary it would give you an extra 5k a year for 20 years to do what you wanted with.

It does change people. When the national lottery first started, I had a friend who won almost a million they and instantly cut ties with everyone. Before the win he and his wife didn't work so they weren't used to that sum of money and I presume he was scared that people would come hand-in-cap. He bought a house, a car, the usual. 20 years later he pops up on Fudbook and says "hi guys!".

I hope you blocked the ****! :p

Yeah I don't want much.

Doesn't have to be massive but would need an indoor pool and sauna. A bit of land and some private woods would do me. No neighbours.

Don't think a million would get that.

Edit: If it was £100m+ a lot would go to charity. I may even throw some at Just Stop Oil for the lolz in the thread. :cry:
